I was giving my tortoise a soak today and noticed some red regions on the side of his head I hadn’t seen before. I’ve attached photos of both sides. He does scale the side of his enclosure a lot, and it appears to be the same area where his upper arms touch when he does this. He has some lighter coloration on his arms where this happens as well, photos also attached. At first I thought it was just strawberry stains but after a closer look I feel like it might be irritation. Has anyone else seen this before on a Russian and has any advice? Should I take him to the vet?55B5FE3D-0D76-49AE-909A-08F9A59C8048.jpeg2290E7BB-12C0-45BB-8FD9-567AC214F7BE.jpeg7F1B44C6-93D5-46B3-837D-0D9E655390F7.jpegE3DE17B7-D8D6-4622-82C1-FE53E61030E1.jpeg
